i have wondered if you should solder next to TRV's some time. but i always do anyway and it never seems to cause a problem.

one thing to look out for is if the pipe goes into a wall to check it doesn't move about to the extent the suggests pushfit very close by

I virtually never solder near any valves. Usually no need to anyhow.
Solder out of place or remove valve temporarily where possible.
Obviously a gate valve wouldn't matter if it got a fair amount of heat.
